Seated With Love

Client portal and workflow

Events beyond weddings

Seated With Love handles 18 event types, so the corporate events, galas and celebrations a venue hosts run through the same client portal and planning tools as its weddings.

What it does

  • Handles the other 17 kinds of event a venue hosts, not only weddings.
  • Changes the wording throughout to match, so a corporate client is never asked about their wedding.
  • Gives every event host the same portal, with floor plans, seating, documents, questionnaires, messaging and your preferred vendors.
  • Leaves the wedding-only parts out of a corporate booking automatically, so nobody is offered a wedding website for a shareholder meeting.
  • Keeps wedding marketing away from non-wedding clients, so a company booking a gala is never emailed about registries.
  • Puts every booking on one calendar and in one dashboard, whatever type it is.

How it works

  1. Pick the event type

    Choose the type when you create the booking. That single choice shapes the wording, the tools and the emails for the whole event.

  2. Set it up as you would any booking

    Assign your staff, attach a floor plan, add a questionnaire and upload the documents. The workflow does not change because the event is not a wedding.

  3. Invite the host

    Send the invitation and they get a portal for that event, worded for the kind of event it is.

  4. They plan the same way

    Floor plans, seating, documents, questionnaires, messaging and your vendor recommendations all work as they do for a wedding.

What's included

What is included with Events beyond weddings
18 event types Wedding, Engagement Party, Bridal Shower, Baby Shower, Birthday Party, Anniversary Party, Quinceañera, Sweet Sixteen, Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, Corporate Event, Holiday Party, Gala, Fundraiser, Graduation Party, Reunion, Celebration of Life and Other.
Wording that follows the type The venue dashboard and the client portal both change their language to suit. A gala host is not asked about a wedding date.
The same planning tools Floor plans, seating, documents, questionnaires, messaging and preferred vendors are the same for every event type.
Wedding-only parts stay out Wedding websites are turned off for a non-wedding booking as soon as you choose its type, so nothing irrelevant appears in the host's portal or on your setup list.
No wedding marketing The nudge emails that help couples build a website or a registry are only ever sent for weddings. A corporate client never receives them.
One calendar, one dashboard Every booking appears together whatever its type, so your week reads as your actual week rather than as two systems side by side.
Multi-day events A conference or a festival with a start and end date shows across its whole span, which matters more for non-wedding bookings than for most weddings.
Wedding-specific tools The wedding website and the gift registry are built for weddings, and that is where they appear.

Common questions

What is event venue planning software?

It is one system for everything a venue hosts, rather than one process for weddings and a spreadsheet for the rest. Seated With Love handles 18 event types, and each booking gets the same client portal, floor plans, seating, questionnaires, documents and messaging.

Does Seated With Love work for events other than weddings?

Yes. Alongside weddings it handles corporate events, galas, fundraisers, holiday parties, baby and bridal showers, birthdays, anniversaries, quinceañeras, sweet sixteens, bar and bat mitzvahs, graduations, reunions and celebrations of life.

Does the wording change for a non-wedding event?

Yes, throughout. Choosing the event type changes the language in the venue dashboard and in the client portal, so a corporate organizer is never asked about their wedding date and a celebration of life is never described in wedding terms.

What can a non-wedding client do in their portal?

Choose or rearrange a floor plan, seat their guests, answer the questionnaires you assign, read the documents you have shared, message your team, and see your preferred vendors. The wedding website and the gift registry are the parts built specifically for weddings.

Do non-wedding clients get wedding marketing emails?

No. The nudge emails that help couples build a wedding website or start a registry only ever go out for weddings, so a company booking a conference is not emailed about wedding planning.

Can a venue run weddings and other events in one place?

Yes, and that is the point. Every booking sits in the same dashboard and on the same calendar whatever its type, so your team works from one view of the venue rather than two.

Can an event run across several days?

Yes. A booking takes a start and end date with times, so a multi-day conference or festival shows across its full span on the calendar rather than as a single date.
